Rick Barnes recaps Vols’ win against Colorado

On if he anticipates playing four guys 30 minutes or more going down moving forward, with the depth they have and once the younger guys get more acclimated:
“Yes, I do, there’s no doubt we expect it to go down, we don’t want anybody really above 32 minutes, but we felt tonight with Colorado they were going to force us to play guys that have experience big minutes, but we felt it was going to be a really close game as it was and we knew they were going to make a run to get back in it after we were up early and they did, but it’s not fair to put those young guys out there in some tight situations early in the year because like I said you don’t want to lose them with their confidence and the mistakes they made tonight I think they will be able to look at it and learn from it, but we need to get those minutes down. With Fulky, he hasn’t practiced since Friday, so I wasn’t surprised he wouldn’t be very good, I kept telling the coaches I hope you’re wrong, though I do think we responded at the end of the game he came up with a couple plays. Yves struggled, and as he senior he should never be tentative with the ball and he was a few times, but rebounding the ball we did a great job, EJ Anosike I thought for the first time out he did some really good things, he was shooting the ball in an area that we don’t want the elbow jumper we want him to be inside around the SEC, and he just wasn’t aware he was on the court attacking against a zone, but we want to use our depth and again this game was going to be tough and we knew it, but we felt like we would’ve been able to play some guys some more minutes but going forward we hope to do that.”
